Web Services - Weather Monitor / auto update HTML

I would like to ask for some guidance, since I am a total beginner in HTML and web services.

I just started to play with the shipped example: Web Services - Weather Monitor (I use LabVIEW 2015 Professional, 32bit).

It works nice, but I wonder if it is possible to auto update/refresh the html page on the client side? I want to use the PC with LabVIEW as the server, and I would connect to this web service server from a handheld device from its browser.

Is this possible?

 

Additional info: actually I want to use a Kindle e-book reader (7th gen., touch paperwhite) to display information from LabVIEW web service server. I would update numeric values, etc. with 1Hz, it works actually quite good. I tested the Kindle browser with this website: http://www.clocktab.com/ Looks very good, updates fast the e-ink screen 🙂

 

edit: to clarify, right now the example works, but I have to manually refresh the page from Kindle. How can I use a server, which will make the page auto-refresh every second?

Edit: After some visual upgrade it will look great on my Kindle! 🙂
